White Wednesday, Little White Christmas Churches

There is just something so serene and peaceful about a country church. From my childhood drives with my family I can remember the small clapboard structures with the towering steeples. And when the snow dusted their rooftops they became magically beautiful; a place where one could slip inside, sit quietly in a back pew, and marvel at the sunlight streaming through the stained glass windows.

Here are a few of my small Christmas churches that I've been collecting for the last several years. These next few are found in my "Holiday Cupboard", which I showed this last Monday.

Oh how precious!!! I love them. I actually did a church stained glass stepping stone for the pastor of our little church, a birthday present. It was quite primitive, but she loved it. I have been going to my little country church for 32 years now... I absolutely love it and the people are my second family. We have probably 100 members and usually 50-60 each Sunday. Glad you missed the storm... they are calling for 50 mph winds today that is going to blow the 8 inches of snow around and -3 tonight... I am so blessed to have a warm house to stay in.

Good Morning Dear Friend...I am loving these precious little churches you collect!I have one...it lights up and I too enjoy looking at it and thinking of the wonderful little country churches I see when driving thru these back woods.Hope you have a marvelous week...donna

Debra, your collection of churches made me smile this morning when I brought your post up. I LOVE churches. When I drive into little towns around I look for the steeples and I love it when their bells ring. They add such charm to a city. All of your pretty churches must also add such charm to your cottage.Hugs~

Your collection is fantastic...I love each and every one!! Well, I am partial to the sparkly ones and the last one you bought in Ozark. I too, love looking for the church steeples and then driving by. The more simple, the better.

I love all your lovely little churches...I have the one in your first photo. If I had the room I am sure this would start me with another collection....smile...thanks so much for taking the time to share yours....blessings

I love all of these churches! When I was growing up we went to a very small church much like some of the ones in your post. My mothers family has a reunion every year still held in a small, old church in a small town. It's great!
